Cask is overrated, imo. People like to rave about it, but it usually tastes like **** compared to the normal beer. People get all juiced up about it around here. Cask ales are just bragging rights for beer nerds.

Meh I always get the cask when I'm at a new bar/brewpub (that has one) The difference comes down to three main points. 1. it is unfiltered (biggest point for me although there are bottled and kegs that are unfiltered most of the time it isn't there) 2. Natural carbonation its just something about the carbonation levels while it isn't as big of a deal as it was in the past but I personally notice. 3. Many times there are added flavors and added alcohol with casks. 4. Pretty much guaranteed fresh casks have to be emptied within 3 days.

Its why bars prefer kegs they stay longer.

I thought the taste was no different, but what I liked was how smooth the beer was. It was different than a draft and I liked it more, especially how it lacked any carbonation.

Does anyone every buy one of those 22 oz microbrew bottles? I know it's a vague question, but I saw a bottle of a Sierra Nevada i haven't seen before, and I just kept on thinking how awkward it would be to drink it.

try pouring it into a glass, and then letting what you don't drink sit out.
